Turn rights protection into revenue | IBC 2026
Where IP addresses stop, we keep going.
The right content, to the right viewer, at the right price.
The best commercial IP vendor gets the country right 99% of the time. The postcode? 26 times out of 100. That gap is where territorial leakage, account sharing, and lost regional pricing live, and it is invisible to an IP check.
Visit our stand at IBC 2026 to see how streaming platforms and rights holders use precise location, device, and behavioral intelligence to close it:
- Protect media rights. Enforce licensing terms market by market, down to the postcode, with tamper-proof evidence ready when a rights holder asks for it. Over 80% of modern piracy now runs through residential proxies that look identical to a local subscriber on a standard IP check. We see past them.
- Detect account sharing. Tell a household from a piracy ring without punishing the household. When Netflix tightened location-based sharing controls, it added 9.3 million subscribers in a single quarter.
- Monetize regional content. The same episode isn’t worth the same everywhere. Price by market, capture regional windows, and offer verified-location ad inventory that commands 20 to 30% higher CPMs because it’s provably in-market.

How DRM and Security Technologies are Protecting Premium Content Across the Streaming Ecosystem
Saturday 12 September | 17:00 to 17:45 | Stage 2 | Session ST2SP3
James Clark
Speaker
Senior Business Development Director, Media & Entertainment
DRM, tokenisation, watermarking, geofencing, content authentication: each one protects a different layer of premium video, and none of them is enough on its own. This session digs into how broadcasters and streaming platforms combine them to protect live and on-demand content, enforce territorial rights, and keep the viewing experience worth paying for.
GeoComply joins the panel to cover the location layer: why territorial enforcement built on IP alone can’t hold up to residential proxies and SmartDNS, and what changes when you can prove exactly where a stream is being watched.

How streaming platforms are turning content protection and distribution technologies into revenue
Saturday 12 September | 17:00 to 17:45 | Stage 2 | Session ST2SP3
The content industry depends on regionality to provide curated experiences to users, target ads, and uphold territorial business models, yet the data the industry uses to do this is decades out of date. In this session we will explore how the next-generation of streaming platforms are adopting new ways of finding their users to not only unlock revenues they had previously dreamt about, but also stop unauthorised access to their services in order to mitigate the cost of fraud and abuse.

An IP address is a guess about a network, not a viewer. The best commercial IP vendor in our 2026 testing got the postcode right 26.2% of the time, and over 80% of modern piracy runs through residential proxies that pass a standard IP check cleanly. We combine GPS, WiFi, device, and behavioral signals to pinpoint where a viewer actually is, which is why our VPN and streaming-fraud detection runs at 99.1% and 99.8% accuracy respectively, independently validated by Kingsmead Security, with a verified 0% false positive rate. Your IP stack tells you where the connection claims to be. We tell you where the viewer is.
The opposite, when it’s precise. Blunt enforcement blocks good viewers and lets sharers through; precise enforcement does neither. When a top streaming site tightened location-based account-sharing controls, it added 9.3 million subscribers in a single quarter. The viewers you convert were already watching. Now they’re paying.
Compliance is the floor. The same signal that keeps you inside your licence tells you what each market is worth: regional pricing, verified-location ad inventory at 20 to 30% higher CPMs, and grey-market viewers converted into subscribers. One customer came to us for a compliance problem and added 15% to its revenue projections building location-based products on the same signal. And in 15+ years, zero GeoComply media customers have been sanctioned for a licensing violation.
